I'm not surprised that the Epstein Files released were full of black boxes/censored info. It's very common for corrupt & shady governments to do shit like that - after dragging releasing of files out. In the USA - both the GOP & DNC are two wings of same shitbird.

In BC - our former crimes against humanity Premier John Horgan increased #FOI request fees - which made things too expensive for many nonprofits, grassroots community orgs, Union of BC First Nations, independent media outlets - to obtain data/information. When those who could pay higher FOI request fees - what we'd usually receive are not transparent files. It would take months to receive boxes of censored information. They're usually full of redactions/censored black boxes. Essentially, the government is charging more money for FOI requests but providing far less data/transparency than prior to Horgan hijacking freedom of information act. The undemocratic move was to hide BC NDP corruption from public eyes.

Data can show if government programs work or not, but the Trump administration is suppressing the necessary information

The government, because it takes the lead in implementing official policies, is in a unique position to collect and store sensitive data collected over long periods of time.

The Conversation

Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.

His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.

Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.

#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.

Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.

Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.

This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

"This is a very notable, but unsurprising move that federal records experts have been worried about since the issuance of... trump’s executive order renaming the United States Digital Service—an agency of federal tech workers that was formed under the Obama administration—to the United States DOGE Service."

Neoliberal/fascist people in positions of public power never say - Violence isn't the answer - when they give more raises to state mercenaries to buy more weapons of state funded violence & militarized/armored vehicles & to beat up nonviolent citizens exercising their rights to public #dissent & peaceful #protests.

I'm uninterested in bootlicker responses. I will block those who choose to commit bootlicking offenses on my timeline - on sight.

Interesting that the Minister responsible for Social Services threw the director of Québec's Youth Protection Services under the bus... like that's even going to be enough. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/youth-centre-sexual-misconduct-allegations-1.7365373 #CAQASTROPHE #polQC #QCpoli #assnat #NOACCOUNTABILITY #NOTRANSPARENCY

DPP dává najevo, že tu není pro občany, kteří si ho platí v jízdném a hlavně v dotacích. A tak urputně (a bohužel zatím úspěšně) bojuje proti tomu, co by mělo být samozřejmostí...
